How do i undo a corner that was done many changes ago? I can't Edit/Undo and I have tried "0" radius but the software doesn't like that.
Thanx

Thanx for the quick reply. I have looked at that page previously and it did not provide the answer. The "Edit/Undo" assumes it was only a few changes before. There is no "Edit/Undo" for the drawing I'm working on. The only way I can think to change the rounded corner back to a square corner is to Ungroup the box, delete the arc making up the corner and then rebuild the orginal corner. I wondering if there is any other way to accomplish this short of breaking up the orginal box.

Did you see the bottom of the referenced page?

Here is the bottom of the page.

Quote:
After rounding a corner with the corner command you can apply the command again to change the radius. For example, you might need to increase the radius after the analyzer advises that the radius is too small.

To change the radius of rounded corners:
1.Select a closed group of lines having rounded corners.
2.Follow steps 2-4 above.
Also see how to round and chamfer edges.


It refers to steps 2 and 4 above. Here they are:

Quote:
2.Choose Line | Corner. A dialog appears.
3.Click Corner | Round and enter a desired arc radius. (If you are unsure of the radius, try any value - you can easily apply the Edit | Undo command to try again.)
4.Click OK.


Try this:

1. make a box 1" deep
2. Round the corners
3. Save the file and close the program
4. reopen the file and try to "unround" the corners.

There is no "undo".
Thanx

I see I misunderstood your original question. I believe most programs don't retain the undo buffer after closing the app. You would have to ungroup, delete the arc and extend the straights, as you described.
